Today, there was a need for me to visit (just visiting) my local hospital, several times. In between visits we had lunch in the Furnace Kitchen at Coalbrookdale where I chose a croissant filled with butternut squash, caramelized onion and Feta cheese. It was delicious.
Currently many routes to Coalbrookdale are subjected to roadworks and closure. This meant that we had to take the long route home via ‘The Oxbow’ which is stunning after the recent heavy rainfall.
With my hospital walks and a little bit of food shopping (miles) I clocked up at 4.75 miles.
My local NHS is so rubbish.
The earliest time I can get an appointment is usually 2 weeks in advance.
The service is variable here depending on the GP practice. Although I have noticed that the practice with the bad reputation has recently improved their service.
